OLIMP MCT is a complex of medium-chain triglycerides of plant origin. They are found in a natural form in a very limited amount, and in food their main source is cocoa oil. MCT fats are wholly metabolised by the liver with energy release, without a tendency to their accumulation in the body in the form of adipose tissue. The dietary properties of MCT fatty acids arise from the fact that they are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract directly into the portal vein, and in contrast to other fatty acids lipase or bile is not necessary for their digestion. Therefore, MCT oil is often used in diseases associated with fat absorption impairment. MCT fatty acids are absorbed into the general blood circulation very rapidly (similarly as glucose), and for their burning two times less oxygen is needed than in the case of the remaining fatty acids.

Palm kernel oil*, containing medium chain fatty acids. PALM KERNEL OIL is high in MCTs just like coconut oil, commonly used as a source of MCT oil. However, it should not be confused with palm oil which comes from the fruit pulp. Palm kernel oil is made only from the edible seeds of palm fruit, not from fruit itself. Although from the same plant, Palm Oil has a very different composition to Palm Kernel Oil and is high in polyunsaturated fats that are not good for your cholesterol levels.

Take 1/2 spoonful 2 times a day with a meal for the first 2 days, gradually increasing the amount every 3 days until the optimum dosage is achieved: 1-3 spoons 2 times a day. NOTE: Consumption of single doses higher than 100 g, without previous adaptation may cause gastro-intestinal problems. Long-term consumption of MCT in high doses increases L-carnitine demand. Keep out of reach of children.
